I also have a (maybe rhetorical) question to OP: how comes it took you 8 months and almost 50 posts to ask the right question? 
Some members here wander around for a while before realizing what the purpose of Bitcoin is and what advantage Bitcoin has for their financial life.But thank goodness he has been given great tools that will build his knowledge, I have always suggested knowledge before any attempt in bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency market.
I wouldn't want to suggest some more learning tools to ops since he already got quite a handful of educative links from mk4 to learn and build with.
actually, the OP is lucky to stumble this forum. because this forum alone will give him tons of knowledge and info that he won't find outside. if he will be patient roaming around, he will slowly understand some facts and vital knowledge that he needs to gain when it comes to crypto market. also, he needs to slow down if he wants to buy some crypto. he can start understanding how to transact by using spare and small funds. because reading alone won't give him first hand experience. he needs to start sending or buying small amounts of crypto to understand the market better.
